[Sabrina Chesterfield Cobblepot]: 686.The Ice Syrin. Chaper 1

Chapter 1

The year was 1985, a crisp spring day. A young man in his senior year named Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot was walking from his last class. He was a stocky young man with brownish black hair. He was quite short for his age only about five foot two inches at the most and, also he had one other characteristic that no other student in the Gotham City area had. For he had a nose that was long and pointed like a birds beak.
He was walking home when he heard a sweet girl’s voice had carried over the crowd, “Hey Ozzie! Get over here you uglified bird!”
He looked over the crowd to see a blonde girl in a black and red school uniform. She was the ring leader of a large posse on which they had made fun of only those who are shorter or bigger than any of them. She was named Samantha Sheffield. He started walking towards them slowly but, surely with heavy steps.
“Well let’s get this over with Sam…what do you want?” he mumbled.
“I just wanted to ask you something Ozzie… did you find someone to take you to prom other than your cousin?” she snickered as she pushed him to the ground.
He started to tear up when he heard another young ladies voice come out of the crowd. “Leave him alone Samantha Sheffield! He didn’t do anything to deserve this!”
He looked up as he picked up his books. There stood a beautiful young lady with reddish brown hair at the same height he was at. She was also wearing a different version of a School uniform. She seemed relatively new to the school for he had never seen her before. “Um…excuse me…what gives you the right to like…tell me what I can and can’t do?” Sam snickered as she pushed the girl out of the way.
The girl of the red hair had pushed her and flashed a student union badge, which indicated that she was an authority figures daughter and had every right over anyone in the school. “I am Holly Miller, the daughter of Mistress Elizabeth and Master Falk Miller, My father is a FBI Agent and you madam are no power to me, so be gone otherwise I will make you be the one to be shipped off to a closed off to a unknown government society for questioning! I don’t want to see you bullying this fine young man anymore! Got it?”
Samantha had quivered for she knew that her father was a Russian traitor wanting to take over the world but then she also knew that her mother was also a German villain wanting to kill anyone who stood in her way for power. She turned to her posse and they left.
Holly turned around to see Oswald struggling to get his books back into his arms without missing a beat. “Do you need a hand?” She asked while handing him a large book that read on the cover, ‘The adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain’.
“Why did you help me when no one else would have?” he questioned.
She looked at him with a sincere look on her face as she gave him a notebook. “I was always teased too because of something and, now I cannot stand it when others tease people just because they are different from them…it is just so wrong.” She answered.
He looked down and looked back up to her again to find her smiling with a romantic star in both of her eyes. “Well…thank you anyway Holly, for everything that you did. May I walk you home?” He asked as he stood up.
Holly giggled for she found him to be quite the little charmer. “Sure, why not.”
They walked to a rich part of town on which they encountered a fourteen story mansion, for this was Holly’s family home. They both had stopped at the front gate and she had given him a kiss on the lips and whispered, “Thanks for being there for me.”
He kissed her back and they both looked into each other’s eyes, “I must ask you something Holly as a friend.” He proposed.
“Okay, go ahead and ask Ozzie.” She giggled.
He cleared his throat as he started to speak to her, “Holly, as a friend will you go to Prom with me tonight?”
“Ozzie…” she quietly said.
“Okay fine I get the hint you wouldn’t want to go with a hideous bird thing like me now would you? Just like every one else…” he reacted.
“Ozzie, you are a good friend and, I truly love you, I will go with you! I will meet you at the Prom dance floor at 10 o’ Clock sharp.” She continued.
“For real?” He asked.
She shook her head yes and he was happy as could be so he kissed her on the lips once more and ran home to change into the tuxedo that his parents had given him.
Once he got home he ran up the grand stair way but only to be stopped by his mother, Lady Ester Cobblepot. “Where are you in such a hurry to get to son? You can’t be in a hurry for a date can you?” Lady Cobblepot had asked while putting her hands onto her only son’s shoulders.
“Yes mother! I do in fact I have to pick her up right now!” Oswald had said as he tried to pass his mothers tall and slim body.
She let go of her son’s shoulders only to hug him and to say, “I can’t believe that someone wants my only son! I must give you something that your father had given me on our first date okay when you need to go I will give this to you okay?”
Oswald had looked into his mothers eyes to notice that she was not pulling a cruel joke only to know exactly on the fact that he was in love with a beautiful young lady. He rushed into his room to get into his Prom tuxedo which had a top hat with it. It was black and white but the cumber bun was a gold and silver mix. His mother had come in for a last time before the dance. “You look handsome!” she complimented, “Here… your father had given me this on our first date. Then I knew that he was the one.” She had grabbed his hand and she had put a glass rose in the palm of his hand. “Give it to her and she will fall for you forever.”
That night he had met her at the dance the song, “You had a bad day” came on. Oswald had looked into her eyes and they both had started dancing slowly. “You know this is the first time I ever held a woman.” Ozzie confessed while looking into the love of his life’s deep green eyes.
“You are the love of my life Ozzie and there is nothing that will change that. You are the only one that is worthy in my eye.” Holly confided.
The song had reached the climax and, then as the lead singer had started singing more with confidence the different couples started dancing closer and closer together but, the click of Samantha and her boyfriend Beau Sudderly were staring at Ozzie and Holly the whole time but, the only time that they ever seen anything was when the couple had finally stopped after the song had finally ended but then they kissed with great passion. “Wow…that was great!” Ozzie had exclaimed, “I may have to sit down after that one!”
Holly had giggled once again, “You are so funny Ozzie! How could I have never seen it before?”
“Come with me Holly there is something I want to give you.” Said Oswald as he had started to walk out of the gymnasium, “Holly, my dear… I know this is a little unorthodox but, I love you with all of my heart and, well… this is one thing I did want you to have…” he had started while pulling that glass rose out of his tuxedo pocket. “Will you be mine forever?”
“Oswald…” gasped Holly while slowly taking the rose from him.
“You don’t like it?” questioned Oswald while looking down in disappointment. Holly was still speechless for no one had ever given her the night of her life and pledge his love to her by giving her a priceless family heirloom.
She looked at him with tear-filled eyes and hugged him tightly. “I love it Ozzie.” She whispered into his ear as he felt her tears going across his back.
“I’m glad you do Holly…let’s go! Let’s get out of here…hold on a minute.” He had said while listening to the speaker, “For now on this will be our song!” They both had listened to the song, “I want you” from Peter Frampton had played. They kissed and called his parents to send one of the limo’s to come and pick them up.
They waited outside then from the mist a pair of headlights came, coming closer to their sitting area. The limo sent from lord and lady Cobblepot had arrived. They both had gone into the automobile. “Where to sir?” asked the chauffer as he had rolled up the windows.
“Any place romantic Jackson!” Oswald had said as he caressed Holly’s hands.
“I will try Master Oswald.” Jackson had recited as he had rolled up the inside window that separated the chauffer to the famous or rich rider in the back.
They had reached aficionado’s point. A cliff of at least one hundred feet above the town with a beautiful view of the town with the risen moon on top of the horizon. It was the most romantic space for at least two hundred miles or so around. Holly had started to push herself closer and closer with the most grace until Ozzie had snapped out of it and stuttered, “W- wait just a…a minute H—Holly…” He picked up the phone to the chauffer and asked, “Jackson…will you take two hours off then come back to drive us home?”
“Certainly Master Oswald, as you insist…” he replied. Jackson had hung up the phone and opened the door and sat on the cliff side at least 50 feet away from the limo.
“Well, Ozzie I had the greatest time of my life tonight! What about you Ozzie…didn’t you have a great time?” Holly had said in her sexiest tone that he had ever heard in his life.
His breathing had staggered a little bit, but he quickly and quietly replied, “Yeah…”
She had looked into his eyes once more and kissed him with the most passion that he had ever felt out of her. He kissed her back but, instead of his usual peck he had held it longer than any kiss that he had performed. She looked into his eyes again and spoke gently and softly, “I really love you Ozzie…”
“And I really love you too…the night is still young and, we still have at least an hour and a half…what should we do?” He asked while running her hair through her long hair.
“I know…we can do what every other couple does on prom night at this cliff!” She started after nearly mauling him.
He started laughing in enjoyment. “I see…lets shall we?”
“Lets!” she quickly said as she had taken the cover jacket off of her dress and flung it to the back part of the limo. That night they had done sexual intercourse and, well… she had conceived a child.
With about fifteen minutes to spare they had quickly gotten dressed once again for they saw Jackson starting to walk back. They were both laughing at this point for they knew what they had done was wrong until marriage but, they had passion for each other who is to say why but, they did.
They had dropped her back off but, before they had left the mansion they had exchanged their kisses once more and, there she whispered once more, “Goodnight my love…”
The next week Oswald had gotten up around seven in the morning to head down to his families pet shop. He was planning on buying his sweet holly a Siberian husky puppy for his marriage proposal but, when he had opened the doors…the dogs were stolen for there was a silence that filled the room and, he could see is that his precious birds that he had helped his mother and father raise since he was a mere boy were murdered in their cages the night before!
Oswald had fallen to his knees and, he started sobbing hysterically. “My birds…my work…their gone! Who ever did this shall pay! They shall pay with their very lives!” He thought for he had a burning sensation to kill.
Holly had come down to see him at his work. “Honey? You okay?” she asked as she had gotten onto the ground to comfort her lover.
“Get away from me Holly before I do something drastic! I had lost everything that I had worked for in my life! How could I live with myself now?” he sobbed.
“I’m sorry Ozzie but…I must tell you something that you might be happy about… will you listen to me?” she asked as she picked him off the ground.
“Yes…what is it Holly?” he had asked as he dried his tears.
“Remember the night that we…you know…”
“Yes, I do…go on!”
“Well…I’m…I’m…” she stuttered as she looked to the ground.
Oswald had taken his hand and put it under her chin slowly and sweetly pulled her face up to his, “What is the matter Holly?”
She continued in a softer voice, “I’m…I’m pregnant…please don’t hit me!”
She had flinched for she thought that he was going to hit her but, he didn’t he started laughing and for a split moment…he was a happy man! He couldn’t believe that he was going to have a child running around with his name! He picked her up and spun her around. “We are going to have a baby Holly? You just made me the happiest man alive!” he had laughed.
“Ozzie put me down! Your making me spin too much! I’m about to get sick!” Holly had squealed as he started to put her down. “I was thinking that we name it after you…either boy or girl.”
“I don’t know about naming the child just yet my love…why don’t we discuss it a bit later like tomorrow after school or maybe at study hall? After all, you will have your notebook with you correct? And I will have my mother’s baby names book with me that day.”
“Okay I will see you tomorrow then I guess huh Ozzie?”
With that Holly had kissed him goodbye again and left the pet store. There Oswald had started his work and cleaned the floors of the birds’ blood with nothing to find but a note that read:
Dear Mr. Cobblepot,
Due to your love life you have not been properly trained in order to give your birds enough attention so we had done the honors of putting them out of their misery, I hope this has taught you something about being a responsible uglified bird keeper! I will see you in class later on in the week.
Signed,
Samantha Annalois Sheffield
After reading that note Oswald had felt up with his fiery anger once again for the loss of his beloved birds.
The next day while they were at the school, Oswald and Holly were walking towards the Gotham City High School parking lot on which they had encountered Samantha and her posse including her boyfriend, Beau Sudderly. A tall muscular jock that would protect his honor and his girlfriend no matter what it would take.
“Well Ozzie…did you see what we did to your birds? Are you going to wail on us like you did Holly on Prom night?” Samantha had started as she had hopped off the hood of Beaus’ black truck. “Well…answer me you bird thing!”
“Ozzie!” Whined holly as she had clinching on his arm for his protection.
“Let me take care of this Holly…” He said to her. He looked up towards Samantha…he had chuckled and clearly smacked her across the face loud enough to hear the skin of his hand and the skin of her face collide! “That is what I think of what you did to my birds!”
Samantha had backed down and looked to her boyfriend and started crying innocently. “What the hell did you do that for Ozzie? She just asked you a simple question!” Beau questioned as he shoved Oswald.
Oswald had shoved Beau back and stated, “You all should be ashamed of yourselves…making me look like the worst son to my parents! They went inside the pet shop and they told me that they cannot believe how irresponsible that I have been! Leaving the birds to die like that! How could you do that to me?”
“Easily…just need to know how to tip off the alarms and how to pick a lock my friend! You shouldn’t blame us though…you were with Holly and now you are in trouble with the police for you had smacked my girlfriend and I can get away for I am a “Good kid” so what are you planning to do Ozzie?”
“You killed my birds you hurt my chances with my girlfriend and my family accepting her…how do you think I am going to deal with this? Come down to my level Beau…” Oswald had asked.
Beau had chuckled for the pathetic attempt of Oswald. He jokingly went down to Oswald’s seeing eye level and said, “What do you need my petite friend?”
“Oh that’s it!” He said out loud. With that he had given Beau a hard uppercut to the nose on which the nasal bone had reached to his brain and had killed Beau in at least five seconds of the blow. “That is what I need!”
Samantha and her posse ran to the other side of town. Oswald had looked back to his lover, on which she was in the state of shock on which she just had saw. “Ozzie…I don’t think this will work out…I will have to break up with you.” She softly cried still in shock.
“I’m sorry Holly…I didn’t mean for it to go this far…I promise I will be a good husband its just, its just I wanted to get you something and they ruined my chances of living with my parents during college…I just wanted the best for our child.” Oswald had said as he slowly started walking to Holly.
Holly had started to back up. “I…I can’t! I love you Ozzie but, I still can’t take the chance of you killing me or the child. Good bye Ozzie…I will see you possibly…someday. When you promise me not to kill anymore okay…I will love you always.” Sympathetically said holly as she kissed him on the left side of his face and walked away never to look back.
He looked towards her way, “I will always love you…and I will see my child someday! Even if it kills me I will see my precious child and take custody! He or she will be my only heir!” he thought as he dropped to his knees once more and sobbed softly and shortly. He looked onto the horizon of aficionado’s cliff on where he remembered on where they had devoted the most affection for each other. “So that is why they call it aficionado’s cliff…it is full of false affection. I must get my daughter back…and for now on I shall become the Penguin…I shall steal my daughter back from Holly! As I shall get away with most crimes on the unsuspecting people here!” he had mumbled. He looked onto the horizon and stood up, “The penguin…I love the sound of that it fits me with everything that I have!” He started laughing hysterically into the night.
